The biggest, but not quite the longest I over all 70.",.ti feet, breadth 69 feet, depth nor the fastest, ship ever afloat was launched at Harland & Wolff's works at Belfast lately the White Star Celtic. Here is a comparison of the Celtic with some of the other great boats: Great Eastern, length over all. 691 feet; breadth. S2.8 feet; depth, 4S.2 feet; gross tons. 18, 916; Campania, length over all 620 feet, breadth 65 feet, depth 43 feet, gross tons 12,950; Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosst, length over all 626.7 feet, breadth 66 feet, depth A'. feet, grows tons 17.274; Celtic, length over all 7'Hi feet, breadth 75 feet, depth 49 feet, gross tons 20.S80. The Celtic; it will be seen, is a few U el shorter than her sister, tne Oceanic, but she gains in beam and in tonnage. It is believed she will be the most com fortable boat afloat, arl the Oceanic has confirmed the White Star's belief that some people prefer going with greater comfort and less speed. The Celtic will lisplace 36,700 tons of water, as against the 14,000 tons of a modem battleship. 39 feet, gross tons 11.349; Oceanic, length The Skipper's Woes She is a nine-decker: lower orlop, or lop, lower, middle, upper, bridge, upper bridge, boat, and sun decks. Her shell plates number 1,392, average 30 feet by 5 feet in surface and an inch in thick ness, and some of them weigh four tons. Electric drills and hydraulic rlvetting macii.nes were used in the construction. The engines will be Harlanu Wolff's own quadruple-expansion type. The Celtic will carry 347 saloon, 160 second-class and a large number of t--rd-class passengers, one will have alto getner a crew of 335. THE Oceanic steamship Sonoma, Cap tain K. Van Oterendorp, was sight ed yesterday afternoon about 2 o'clock, coming from the Colonies. At half past four o'clock sin- was along side the Oceanic wharf, having been passed by the doctor. The immigration commissioner went aboard, and after his work was accomplished the passen gers were permitted ashore. The Sonoma sailed from Sydney at 3:15 p. m. on the 9th instant: arrived at Auckland on the 13th at 9:30 a. m.: sailed thence at 6:25 p. m. on the same day; arrived at Pago Pago at 1:25 p. m. on the 17th, and left there at 5:30 p. m. of the same day. Strong southwest to westerly winds were experienced from Sydney to Auckland, thence to Pago Pago south easterly to northeasterly winds were met with: from Pago Pago to port fresh to moderate trade winds and fine j weather were experienced. The Sonoma is booked to sail for San Francisco at 9 o'clock this morning. The following is a complete list of her passengers: Mr. and Mrs. J. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. Burdon. Mr. and. Mrs. "Reid, Mr. and Mrs. Curthoys, Mr. and Mrs. Leonholdft, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Gougar, Rev. W. G. and Mrs. Mearsle, Mr. and Mrs. T. P. Have pity, ye Marine and Local Boards, Ye little magnates yea, most mighty j lords On the poor skipper," for his lot is cast j Where fate unkind pursues him to the f last. Alas', poor man, his is an evil plight. I He's always wrong, he's never in the ' right. Upon him, like a scapegoat, must be thrown The faults of others, not to say his own; Disaster comes, and tho' 'twas not his fault, " 'Tls plain the fellow is not worth his salt." Should fogs or currents put his reck oning out, At once they ask, "What was the fool about?" His ship is wrecked, or by collision sunk; Of course he has to prove he wasn't drunk. If freights are low who but himself to blame? Jack's duff is spoiled, at once he says the same; The beef all bone and innocent of fat. Who but the skipper is to blame for S that? He shortens sail on some dark stormy night, Adlam, Mr. and Mrs. Gardner, Mr. and i Jack grow ls and vows he did it but of Mrs. Eagle and child. Mr. and Mrs. An drew Lietch, Mr. and Mrs. D. L.

Con siderable freight was brougn for this Port. , , . j , The Sonoma, on her run down from San Francisco to Sydney, made raiuer a remarkable record. Notwithstanding the accident which occurred on the trip, the spite. Now he must teach the carpenter his trade; Now show the sailmaker how the sails are made. In time of need he must be midwife too, Or help to kill as other doctors ;do. Should a poor sailor sleep his last long sleep, He parson then consigns him to the deep ; And if he has a tear or two to spare. He acts chief mourner, and bestows them there. Well up in cooking, and in skill pro found At weighing tea and sugar by the pound; Should there be strife or mutiny on board He drops the scales and then takes up the sword. And when the strife is over goes his rounds, And surgeon then binds up the gap ing wounds. Now. an astronomer, he views the stars, Measures a distance 'twixt the Moon and Mars; A meteorologist we find him now. Recording calms or winds blow high or low. Of course he has Euclid at his finger ends, Or, what is harder, knows all knots and bends: blowing out of a cylinder head, the ves- Is cunning, too, at mixing paints and A walking cyclopedia he must be. Arrived in port. "Well, what's up now, you ask. rney ve touno. a little powder in a flask- Fine him five pounds; and see the careless dog Here's an omission in the official log; Fine him again the law must be en forced ; Some one must pay. so let him bear the cost; Alas! poor skipper, if at sea you've trouble. Arrived in port you may perhaps have double. You're fined for this because you didn't do it. For something else because you never knew it; Fined to the last and turned from door to door To find you are not wanted any more. r Watch Oar Flags sel was only twenty hours behind time in arriving at Sydney. When it is taken into consideration that she was late In arriving here from San Francisco and that she was compelled to make the run from Auckland to Sydney with only one engine, this record is marvellous. The Sonoma made the trip from Pago Pago to this port In six days and three hours. This Is splendid time. The trip is supposed to occupy seven days at least. She came up from Australia with both engines working compound. Upon her arrival in San Francisco the Sonoma will be laid up for a period of three weeks for general repairs. This will be done with each of the new steam ships, so that hereafter they will be three weeks later than schedule. Last night the agents gave notice that baggage intended for the coastwise com partment on the Sonoma would not be received later than two hours before the sailing of the steamship. Terrible Tale cf the Sea. The British ship Andromeda, which arrived at Cape Town recently, had to tell a terrible tragedy of the sea. She landed nine men, the survivors of the French bark Psyche, whom she had rescued at sea. The Psyche was bound from Chill for the English Channel. During the voyage she sprang a leak, and the water made such neadway that on January 30 it became necessary to abandon her in midocean. The crew got away in two boats, and the bark foundered almost immediately. The of ficers and crew numbered seventeen. One boat, In which were six men, drift ed away, and was lost sight of. The other, with eleven men, drifted about for thirty days. They sighted several vessels, but were unable to attract at tention. The sufferings of the castaways were awful. The ship's cook died, and an other man became insane, and also died in the boat. The scanty stock of provisions became exhausted, and the survivors just managed to keep body and soul together by catching sharks and drinking their blood. When the survivors were rescued they were per fect skeletons. oils, Takes everything in hand and nothing spoils. Versed in exchanges up In bills of lading, And now a merchant, for his owners trading, They praise him high, declare he is a gem; The credit his the cash all goes to them. On deck all night amid the pelting rain, In wearying calm or dreadful hurri cane, China typhoon, cyclone in Indian seas, Afric's tornadoes all mere trifles these; Or a bright glare at night off New foundland, Proclaims the dreaded iceberg close at hand. Such dangers o'er, long-wlshed-for rest is sought, But "Hard-a-starboard!" and then "Hard-a-port!" Disturbs his dreams, and, rushing from below, "A light . close to, sir, on the weather bow!" "Hard up!" bawls one; "Hard down!" another cries, While half asleep the wearied skipper tries To peer amid the gloom, there to dis cern A steamer's light now half a mile astern. Once more he sleeps but now his sleep Invade Dreams of Inquiry Courts and Boards of Trade. On board a steamer now he scorns the wind, But other cares oppress his anxious mind ; Of valves and pistons, cylinders and screws, He knows, or ought to know, the names and use, Surface condensers, steam and vacuum gauges. Of coal combustion in its various stages. Of salt In boilers and its Incrustations, Of screw propellers and side-wheel gyrations ; Of things in general air, and sky, and sea JUDD & CO.
